Method for manufacture of
free-flowing powder
containing water-dispersible
sterols
May, 2001 Preparation of an edible composition comprising plant sterols or
stanols, a water soluble protein, and optionally an emulsifier
April, 2002 Preparation of plant sterols with particle size in the nanometerscale
for dispersion in beverages. The dispersion starts
admixing the plant sterol with at least one emulsifier (selected
from sucrose fatty acid ester. sorbitan fatty acid ester and
polyglycerine fatty acid ester) followed by melting the
admixture by heating and mixing with the aqueous beverage or
an emulsifier-containing aqueous beverage
June, 2002 Direct esterification of sterols/stanols with fatty acids to form
food-grade stanol/sterol esters free of organic solvents and
mineral acids
July, 2002 Preparation of sterol/stanol esters with conjugated linoleic acid
for food and nutraceutical uses
August, 2002 Preparation of a sterol ester-enriched food ingredients using
base-catalyzed tranesterification of free sterol with fatty acyl
glyceride from vegetable oils in the presence of an alkali
catalyst
November, 2002 A method for the direct esterification of stanols and sterols with
fatty acids to form stanol/sterol esters
January, 2003 A process for producing a free-flowing powder comprising
water dispersible sterols using lecithin as emulsifier, and a
spray drying adjunct for spray drying of the homogenized
product
Phytosterol compositions July, 2003 Preparation of plant sterol and stanol fatty acid esters with a
specified fatty acid composition.
